Injuries continue to pile up in Major League Baseball, but there is also plenty of talent available on the waiver wire. If you lost Giancarlo Stanton or Jeffrey Springs this week, I’ve got a few players that should be available – even in deeper leagues – listed below. Besides those listed below, don’t forget about players such as Franchy Cordero and Joey Gallo, who clobbered a three-run shot in his first game back from the IL on Wednesday.
Another note: Starting pitching continues to be very volatile, and I would caution cutting any starter that has a track record of success in years past. Baseball is a marathon, not a sprint. We’ve seen Jekyll and Hyde appearances from Sandy Alcantara, Chris Sale, Alek Manoah, Aaron Nola and even Corbin Burnes -- none of whom should be dropped or sold low. However, if you want to bench them temporarily, there are a few pitchers below that could be added.
Let’s get to it.
